FC Real Pharma Odesa is a professional Ukrainian football club from the city of Odesa. The "Pharma" portion of the name comes from pharmaceutical influences that are associated with the club's ownership as evident on the original logo which is in English rather than Ukrainian.

The team is currently playing Ukrainian Second League after competing in the Ukrainian Amateur championship. The club was formed in 2000.

History

The team was founded in 2000 as Limed Pokrovske and until 2011 played in Odesa. ^[3] Since 2005 the club was known as Real-Pharm. In 2010 the club was passed onto Mykola Lykhovydov who became the club's president and playing manager. Until 2011 the club participated in football competitions of Odesa Oblast. In March 2011 Real Pharm was registered as a professional club and lost the hyphen in its name. It also joined competitions of the national amateur league, the early stages of the 2011 season. ^[4]

"Real Pharm" debut in the Ukrainian Second League in the 2011–12 season. ^[5]

In 2013, the club moved their operations from Yuzhne to Ovidiopol and prior to the 2013–14 Ukrainian Second League season renamed the team to Real Pharma Ovidiopol. ^[6]
